Thank you very much for your most interesting reply.
Matthew Smith my great grandfather was known to have a cousin in the Strabane area (name unknown) who was a farmer and from whom Matthew's son RJ obtained his butter for his business in Strabane
This cousin later moved to Scotland in the Aberdeen area
You also mention Sweeney and Co Egg and Butter Merchants in Strabane
RJ's son Robert Smith married Irene Sweeney born 1900 daughter of Tom Sweeney and ? Dean. My mother who is 97 told me that the Sweeney's were in the "egg business"
I knew that there had to be a reason for the choice of Honeyford as a 2nd name. I would love to have any information you have in this area and also to be in contact with your Sweeney researcher
